TL;DR
A non-parametric method is presented, based upon an ordinal analysis of recognition performance, which transforms the results of recognition tests into equivalent results for a forced-choice experiment.
Abstract
A non-parametric method for evaluating the results of recognition memory experiments and psychophysical detection experiments is presented. The method is based upon an ordinal analysis of recognition performance, which transforms the results of recognition tests into equivalent results for a forced-choice experiment.

A simple learning process is suggested to predict S's location along these curves, asymptotic means are derived, and comparisons are made with data to show how the theoretical linear psychometric functions are distorted into nonsymmetric, nonlinear response curves.

Sentence intelligibility tests showed that when the articulation index was zero for a nearby speech source the median subject obtained a score of 28% using ear covers alone and 84% with the sound transducer; the subjects with extreme scores improved from 0 to 14% and from 88 to 100% respectively.
